First impression? The Air Jordan 4 Lightning colorway is just "vibrant" in-hand. That Tour Yellow hits so hard against the black nubuck and netting. For a $210 USD retro, the materials feel solid - not premium, but classic AJ4 construction. The silhouette is instantly recognizable, which I love. So, is the Air Jordan 4 Lightning worth it? For me, yes. It's a legendary colorway executed well. You're paying for the history, the bold look, and that classic AJ4 shape. It's not a daily comfort beast, but as a special shoe in the rotation? Absolutely. Just be ready for the attention and to keep them clean. Let's get these on feet. Initial feel is classic AJ4: a bit stiff, needs break-in. The cushioning is firm, you're not getting React or Zoom Air comfort here, it's that 90s basketball feel. The lockdown is good though, the lacing system works. For a retro, the weight is standard, not too heavy, not too light. It's exactly what you'd expect from this silhouette. Comparing it to other Jordans? The 4's toe box is roomier than a 1 or a 3, which I prefer. Versus a more recent model like the AJ34, the tech is obviously dated, but that's not the point here. You're buying this for the history and the iconic 1999 'Lightning' colorway revival. It's pure nostalgia.
